Blue's Clues: Kindergarten

Ages 4-6 Blue's Clues: Kindergarten is designed to make the transition from home to school easier for kids in the 4-6 age range. Activities cover a full range of learning skills: letter and sound recognition (Rhyme Time), telling time (Telling Time with Tickety), creativity (Book About Us), classification, counting, addition and subtraction (Math Collections), and science facts (Super Science). As with the Nick Jr. television show on which the game is based, player activities are guided by many of the TV characters including Blue, Joe, Tickety, Marky Marker, Periwinkle, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and many more. Teaching features familiar props, such as refrigerator magnets, alarm clocks, chalkboards, stickers and so forth, which are intended to increase the comfort level of the surroundings while providing fun in a learning environment. Children can grow with the program through the use of three difficulty settings, and are rewarded with printable project pages upon successful completion of an activity. The mouse-driven interface offers plenty of surprises within each room, including a hide-and-seek game with Joe. A parental guidance section offers a "Beyond the Computer" list of curriculum goals and activities that can be played around the house when away from the computer. ~ Michael L.
